In the late summer of 2018, 34-year-old Jotez Mantell Beason of Bowling Green, Kentucky, was killed by gunfire on Monday, September 10, 2018. A Warren Central High School graduate and member of Mount Zion Baptist Church, he was father to a daughter, Jolyssa Beason. His death is listed among several unsolved homicides in the Bowling Green area.

The Bowling Green Police Department has not publicly identified any suspects or announced arrests in connection with the shooting, and the investigation into who is responsible remains open. The family had already suffered a recent violent loss: Jotez’s brother, Xzavion L. Beason, 30, died after an assault in front of a nightclub the year before.

Anyone who knew Jotez or has information about what happened on September 10, 2018, is asked to come forward.
